How can I add a panel to the User Panel/Form?

[Valerie Wagner]

Hi,

We need to add additional info panels to the "User Form" panel.  When you click on "Users" and then select a user, you currently get two tabs: "User Form" and "Permissions". We need to track additional information about our users, and need to add a  couple more panels.

With repositories, we can easily add panels because of the Sonia.repository.openListeners.push() function. I can find no similar operation for users.

One method I've investigated is listening for the "login" event, then registering a tab change listener:

main.getMainTabPanel().on('tabchange', tabChangeListener);

In the tabChangeListener() function, I can check if the tab's xtype is "UserPanel". However, when a user is selected, the panels that are displayed are created through this function:

Sonia.user.setEditPanel = function(panels){
  var editPanel = Ext.getCmp('userEditPanel');
  editPanel.removeAll();
  Ext.each(panels, function(panel){
    editPanel.add(panel);
  });
  editPanel.setActiveTab(0);
  editPanel.doLayout();
};

I've tried getting the editPanel myself and adding a new panel, but the Ext JS documentation says something about this method not working for a particular layout, which I believe SCMM is using.

Any advice would be appreciated!

thanks,
Valerie

Hi,

You are right there is no "nice" method for adding panels to the user overview. But there is a way to do this. You have to override the selectItem method of the Sonia.user.Grid:

// store original method

Sonia.user.Grid.prototype.selectItemYourPluginId = Sonia.user.Grid.prototype.selectItem;

// override the user grid

Ext.override(Sonia.user.Grid, {

  // override the original method

  selectItem: function(user){

    // call the original method

    this.selectItemYourPluginId(user);

    // get a reference of the edit panel

    var editPanel = Ext.getCmp('userEditPanel');

    // add your own panel

    editPanel.add({

      xtype: 'panel',

      title: 'Hello User',

      html: '<h1>Hello User ' + user.name + '</h1>'

    });

    // insome cases you have to call doLayout

    // editPanel.doLayout();

  }

});

I hope this helps.

Sebastian
